January 12, 2011 at 1:21 PM in reply to: What is the equivalent home in San Diego to this $158k home in Austin? #652309ParticipantThe temps in Austin seem to be about the same, if not slightly milder than an El Cajon, Santee, or Ramona in the summer, but colder in the winter.
They get more rain which breeds all kinds of critters, including Deer, Hogs, and Turkey for hunting. The Fishing is all fresh water, so the comparison to San Diego’s inshore fishing is a hard trade off.

ParticipantI think housing prices would plummet if prop 13 were repealed. It’s interesting that Texas and Temecula were brought up. They’re on my top 5 list of place to bail out to.
A house in San Antonio would run me $78k, the same house in Santee would run me $500k and the reasonably same home in Temecula would run $200-300k. I think the neighborhoods were somewhat comparable when I was out there scouting.
Prop 13 is a major reason for the difference. My Property taxes would be $2340 a year in Texas and $7500 on the equivalent property in Santee. A 300% difference is obnoxious. Most folk couldn’t stay in their Santee home if they had to pay market value taxes, and would need to move out.
I was on the edge of saying to hell with prop 13 kill it, it will bring housing prices down with it. But, after taking in this discussion, I think it would be right thing to keep it around. There’s no way that Gov’t is sending services back to the Santee home owner in the way of $7500 a year. Gov’t spending needs to be squashed, and if prop 13 helps that end, then I’d say I have to vote to keep it around… Even if it keeps me out of buying a home in CA.
